Wormy, flexible and doesn't fall off of the racquet easily. When attaching, just be careful not to overstretch it or else liquid inside will come out.

I love old school worms, and with the Zorbicon filling, it performs great. Played in extreme heat with no problems. Its works perfectly, and all of my rackets have a Gamma worm on them. Cant play without them! Nice variety of colors, if thats something youre looking for.

Gamma Shockbusters

5/5

Gamma Shockbusters are the best vibration dampners on the market. Easy to install, they dont come off the racquet and fly over the net, which can be a costly penalty. You can tell they work, because of the change in pitch when the strings strike the ball. A great purchase !

5/5

My wife uses this dampner and finds it to be the best she can get. I ordered several for her from Tennis Express because of the price and to make sure she has them on hand. She keeps the worm very tight across the most strings possible, so they do break apart with use, however the effectiveness offsets that.

Dampener Review

5/5

These are my favorite type of dampener. They minimize vibration and tone down the sound when the ball hits the strings as compared to having no dampener at all on your racquet. Unlike the small round dampeners, this type of dampener rarely flys off the strings. I purchase the dampeners thourgh Tennis Express because they are cheaper then buying them at the local sporting good store. The only disadvantage to this type of dampener is when they break, the jell colored substance inside of the dampener, seeps out. I would highly recommend this type of dampener and to stock up on them.

This dampener is AMAZING! There is no vibration and feels as if I am playing with a racquet that is ten times better than I was using before. The only bad thing is that it breaks easily if you accidentaly hit the ball on the dampener

5/5

This is a great dampener for absorbing both shock to your arm and silencing that pinging sound. I like the double one a little better than the single but both get the job done. Just beware that if it breaks, the goo inside will make a mess that is difficult to remove from clothing. Still is not enough of a problem to keep me from continuing using this dampener.

Best damper Ive ever had

5/5

Just gave this a try. After several weeks just fall in love with it. It was damn good and no more elbow pain. It wont fly off your racquet because this worm design has two hooks attaching to strings. It has been my good investment as I dont to have keep buying.

Disappointed!

2/5

I was very anxious to use this style of dampener, and absolutely loved it the first day I played with it. I had always used just the small dampeners that fit between two strings. This style definitely made a huge difference. Unfortunately Day 2 is when it broke and fell off. It was not the plastic clip that broke but the rubber right after the clip.
Torn feelings on this product. Loved it when it worked, but didnt last long before it broke!

5/5

I like this dampener better than the round ones I used to use. The round ones are hard to put on, and then they will sometimes fly off during a game. If you were lucky enough to find it after it flies off you have to put it on again which isnt easy. This style is very easy to put on and doesnt fly off.

5/5

I love these things. I find them a lot more manageable and easier to put on than Gamma Shockbuster II. Plus, I feel these actually do more to dampen than the conventional circle-ish dampeners. However I will note after play testing the same racquet with a conventional dampener then the Gamma Shockbuster, it felt to me as if the Shockbuster increased my stringbed tension just smidge, as well as dampen more. However, I couldnt be happier with the product!
